Physical injuries has always been a part of human life and development throughout the evolution of mankind. To accomplish certain physical tasks, there has always been some physical exertion by the human body which, over the long run, can result in internal physical injuries like muscle tears, ligament tears, hairline cracks in bones, etc. External physical injuries are a common thing of the past, present and will be for the foreseeable future. These injuries can happen to anyone at any given point of time and can leave some people in a state of inactivity for several months on end. The purpose of the multi-purpose cast is that it will be designed to minimize the work put into the recovery process while constantly providing immobilization, compression, heat treatment and airflow, simultaneously, to the injured body part from the earliest stages of injury, which can potentially reduce time taken to recover from an injury.Downloads
